But then there was also furniture, tires, cars (oh, boy - we are still paying for that one!), camera, bed, theatre equipment, etc.... NO MORE! We will be buying everything with cash from now on! I am getting ready to write the check to pay off one installment account - for the theatre system, and it feels SOOOOOO good! Brad - definitely let's talk about the recession! Also, I saw a report on the best ways to use the stimulus check - one of the top ways is to use it to pay off a credit card - BUT the reason is this "it won't do anything immediately to stimulate the economy in the short term, but it frees up credit for you to use in the future...." AUUGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!! Great Blog, you rock Bro! Melinda The stupidest thing we ever financed was membership into one of those stupid Direct Buy places that we never used….

Glad to hear there are others turning on their FICO score because as you said it its ONLY an "I LOVE DEBT SCORE"! You are ABSOLUTELY right about peoples reaction to the thought of having a ZERO FICO score! A few members of my family insist that we must have a good credit rating as if that was the only way to live. I and many others are here to say "NO, THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!" daveramseyguru.com <~~FJH's website, go take a look at it! I LOVE the soundboard! Hey Mikki!! You must be talking about the girl that was at the time looking to get rich quick, but just didn't want to call it that. Am I right? That is great news! It's always nice when people realize that society has done nothing but set them up for failure by instigating the "got to establish credit" mentality! We as a country MUST destroy that concept once and for all, for it is destroying families! In some cases the debt load that people experience causes suicidal thoughts, so my cause is very REAL! Let's SAVE America, ONE slave to debt, at a time! Welcome Fielding and thanks for posting!

Hurst Tue, 13 May 2008 17:55:47 +0000 http://www.enemyofdebt.com/?p=86#comment-70 I dismantled the FICO alter in my living room a few years ago. More and more people are waking up to the fact that the FICO is not a measure of winning. I won't be worshiping my FICO score again until it takes on the halo shape of ZERO FICO, baby ... 0. If you want to really freak out a normal (aka broke) person, just tell them you look forward to the day when your I LOVE DEBT credit score gets to 0. It's as if you said the earth was flat or Dave Ramsey has a flowing head of hair. FJH I dismantled the FICO alter in my living room a few years ago.
